A database of libraries with international coverage - 184982 libraries from 177 countries are represented. The libraries.org database is a component of the Library Technology Guides site but can function as separate resource. Retains data on libraries that have closed.

Support wow, this is nice, I didn't realize this identifier existed. Do you have plans to add libraries that are not yet listed in wikidata? ArthurPSmith (talk) 16:42, 9 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on the UK libraries and that'll keep me busy for a while. It'd be great to add all of the libraries that are missing from Wikidata though! Simon Cobb (Sic19 ; talk page) 19:01, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Support. Yay for libraries! Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 21:17, 10 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Support though I must note that not all of the places are strictly libraries—quite a few are schools, like this one. Mahir256 (talk) 08:21, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
